The propaganda campaign aimed at undermining the credibility of the authorities of the DPRK to the North Korean population. According to organizers, the bank must remind the North Koreans about the poverty of ordinary people and the corruption of power.
In addition, receiving bills for the balloons, the people of North Korea for several years, suffering from food crisis, will be able to buy the necessary food.
For its part, the South Korean authorities spoke sharply against the upcoming event. January 30, the DPRK unilaterally suddenly canceled all bilateral agreements regarding the cessation of political and military confrontation of two Koreas.
Seoul fears that the actions of human rights may provoke a further deterioration of the situation. Activists were threatened with jail, but they said that will have a share, despite the ban and the threat of punishment.
This is not the first use of balloons for the human rights propaganda in the DPRK. Previously, they were moved by air leaflets criticizing North Korean authorities and the revelations relating directly to Kim Jong Il.
Balloons caused a sharp reaction of the army leadership of the DPRK, which threatened to take retaliatory measures, and even overlap the border corridor between the two States, going through the neutral zone.
